We got a call on Sunday to say things are getting worse. But even when we got there , it didn’t seem that bad”“It’s so sad because we just celebrated his wedding recently. We’ve lost our breadwinner. Bongi never forgot where he came from. He loved us so much and brought joy when he was around”“We used to call him Bhubesi because of the way he bulldozed Defenders.
